Splitting the launch phase block in 2 parts

Dear all,

Thank you for this extensive and detailed effort
to make the EPP scheme ready for 'sunrise'.
Trying to extend the EPP scheme to provide means to
incorporate validating services is a complicated matter.

We will have to distinguish  two different phases
1. Sending in info to show a certain right
2. Applying for an extension linked to the right

Actually these phases can be interchanged and often
a code is used to link the 2 different phases.

As examples :
.eu provided a code to a sunrise application that
could be used to send in documentary evidence
.co allowed to specify a code to register a name
in sunrise that was verified against a clearing house

If you want the EPP model to be extended to also
include the data to show a certain 'right' than
you will need a lot more than just a name, number
and country. (Such as type of right, if the right
has been given in concession, ...)
Despite me being around IP lawyers for quite some
time now, I always get the comment that I'm a
technical guy and see this things way to simple.

These are of course general remarks and I'm not
certain how to get them into an EPP schema. But
perhaps we should divide in an
<lp:right> section (denoting the right) and an
<lp:application> section (denoting the domain
name application).

The latter will be most easy to fill and could
(should?) contain : domain name, phase,
application id and/or pvrc.
The first (lp:right) is more difficult. It will
probably vary much from registry to registry.
It depends on which rights you will allow to
be applied for (eg: official TM, province/city/...,
local business and many others).

On a much lighter note I would like to change the
wording in the transition state from 'cancelled'
to 'rejected' since for me 'cancel' involves an
active action on the registrar side and this seems
to be a much more 'passive' state change from the
registrar view point.

Thank you all for putting your energy into this project.
